Fire departments provide their firefighters with workers compensation for injuries during firefighting activities. This health insurance would cover medical expenses and other insurance costs. Firefighters risk their lives and they are already protected by current workers compensation insurance. This law is going to put many volunteer stations out of service and limit the protection of individual citizens. The law needs to be removed so that fire stations can provide this vital service to the public and not be worried about paying for health insurance.]]>
